LYRICS:
What if I did not love you?
Where would that leave me
Would I wander through the avenues
Under a pall of misery
Would I be face down in the gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath
The lonely life of a writer
Whose words could not pay his debts
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
What if we became strangers?
Would you notice my face in a crowd?
And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
Helplessly crying your name out loud
Would I be searching for a savior?
Burned and burning with regret
The lonely life of a writer
Only if one last desperate request
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
I've been on the lamb
Being hunted, somethin' fierce
They say time and time, it wait's for no man
But I was just hopin'
These storm filled skies would clear
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy

PLEASEEEE COME TO BRAZILLLL

[@CooperSnow]

This is rough. Glad the ending turned up lol.. I guess you can say they found eachother in the dark?

[@1deg06]

BRILLIANT COMMENT

[@Fuar11]

that's where you find the realest person; yourself

[@sloshhead2]

Songs like this make life worth living...in this lonely world

[@GianniEndo]

I totally agree. It makes you wonder...In a world full of 4.8 people how could one feel so alone

[@Biogenesys]

Salvatore Anzalone And I was under the impression the population was alot higher than that...

[@GianniEndo]

Derek Lahti Whoops...My mistake, i dont reside here on earth, im just visiting.

[@ZairaSimon1]

+Slytherin Parker Music makes you less lonely. Until you enjoy solitude.

[@jimanderson2518]

Slytherin Parker well it's been three years I really hope your better and not as lonely

[@sean92able]

This is music at it's finest. What a Masterpiece.

[@grillscheese1805]

Amen bro!

[@ozarksliving1927]

Absolutely

[@ARottenStateOfMind]

As an aspiring writer, this is a very emotional video to watch because I can relate to it closely. Good writing even to the best of writers is not easy. It makes me really sad in a way that it puts words to what I'm going through, but also makes me glad because it reinforces that I'm not alone. I hope I can find someone to help me find my mouth.

[@brianchristenson8887]

I hope your still writing...

[@JacobKilljoy313]

I love that City And Colour has real talent. seems like everybody now has their music written for them and using auto tune and singing to backtracks.

[@bethanywedel1408]

This has to be my favourite City and Colour song, it's an amazing song and I feel like I can relate. "Please don't please don't pass me by"

[@shannonr5502]

I totally feel the same, as if I'm just a visible shadow.

[@sebastianlavine144]

Shannon R well your not, i love you

[@shawnfernandez8477]

I’ve loved your music for over 10 years now. Your pain and my pain brings me a sense of comfort just knowing it’s going to be ok. Thank you.

[@kawaii.koneko.kiya.]

I catch myself still listening to this song despite it being years already. I used to listen to this when I was on my way to the states to be with my then husband. “But I'll never take any pictures 'cause I know I'll just be right back”. He was the one introducing me to CAC, still hurts, but somewhat a comfort at the same time.

[@achimwitcoustic9585]

One of my fav chorus he ever wrote.

[@danielladionisio9646]

Meu coração fica tão triste pelas pessoas não conhecerem City and Colour :/ depois de tantos anos essas músicas ainda estão guardadas numa caixinha no meu coração

[@adrielcavalcanti4583]

🙆‍♂️

[@Zevitucesar]

2022 e continua sendo verdade

[@sunnyleatham]

This changes everything, I took the song differently, that's what music is supposed to do, but I love how this video gives this song a completely different meaning. Amazing.

[@Clayzor98]

Just found this band..... possibly one of the happiest days of my life

[@DiegoSita]

it's not a band, it's Dallas Green :)

[@Clayzor98]

its only been 11 days for me and im listening to them everyday along with some other great acoustic groups. Im just digging their sound. its just so unique and great that its just.. UH i cant even describe how rad it is.

[@DiegoSita]

Seems like they didn't read me hahaha

[@DiegoSita]

***** Hahah :) Btw I agree City and Colour needs more exposure. His songs saved me from going down in a deep depression last year.

[@DiegoSita]

***** Indeed it does. Wish you peace and love. Hope you enjoy City and Colour more and more as you listen to his other songs =]

[@jennymillbank]

Excellent material. Terrific lyrics and superb job singing this song. Only a true artist and professional could pull this off.

[@sanjit82]

His voice and his lyrics go so well together.

[@chris-james]

Gosh this is beautiful

[@archerdash4466]

Instablaster.

[@DallasCoryell]

Their love cured both of them

[@72silvafan]

How can you're heart be broken and repaired all at the same time by listening to this music??? I wish I never met you.

[@tkieffer63]

This was incredibly touching. To think anyone could be so down and out and others just turn away... Damn I thought i was down at times until i saw this one... Beautiful piece.

[@JessWardECE]

And Dallas does it again, perfect.

[@vovcyan]

Great song, beautiful album! Thank you, Dallas!

[@emmavbak]

City and colors music really make you think about things in a good way. Its so beautiful.

[@sjgrall]

This song always hits me hard.

[@ashleyarcher147]

This tugs at every emotion in me. I knew I shouldn't have listened to this just yet cause now repeat is stuck and I can't pull myself away! I'm ready to do back up singing with this beautiful song bird Dallas Green~ ....if only I could sing... If only I could sing. This is beyond beautiful and I appreciate the haunting.

[@IamJ007]

I never understood people who don't get this music, feel it, how real it is. They don't understand me either. The lonely life of a gemini...I'm just a "Daisy In A Field of Roses."

[@blackcat18596]

Giulia Schimmenti 2 years late but bless you

[@nicholasartuso5132]

Thank you for your taste in poetry.

[@marsbar2020]

With cheap whisky on my breath

[@blueskyz8097]

2119.. and THE SONGS STILL PRETTY LIKE YOU

[@kaitg3706]

From AOF to city & colour! Dallas you are something special! Been with me since highschool 07

[@leevalley68]

I don't know what it is about this song but it really speaks to me...

[@MorikoXNaruto]

I listened to this song a while ago and I could never remember what it was called! I'm so glad I found it!!!!!

[@LoveDoesExist143]

I feel like the artist, and I am an artist myself. We see many things that people don't see, but I have the tendency to be blind to people who care most about me. Even though I may see other things people don't.

[@MandiMarie5896]

Me too

[@lesshugah3003]

It's called selfishness

[@danielzamora3374]

Pulled on my heart strings quite a bit there...this song is beautiful man

[@frankhorvatofficial]

Love the tone of his voice! I've always modelled my melodic writing style around this melancholy approach.

[@joshuarobertson8934]

I can relate to this, I am blind, my girlfriend actually described this video to me. Great analogy Dallas

[@lemononpills8215]

how did you write this comment if you're blind

[@Ky1e420]

Most likely his girlfriend, smart ass. Show a little compassion.

[@lemononpills8215]

Kyle i mean its not like he is going to see the comment anyway

[@Ky1e420]

So I guess that justifies being a piece of shit? You are clearly an idiot.

[@marsbar2020]

I never watch the video as I think the song stands on its own... some of his videos are marginal... hes not exactly sexy, video killed the radio star....

[@alexmackenzie3516]

Very well produced music video and song, everyone that had a hand in it should be proud.

[@iwalkalone43]

Hey Katy Kat! Wheel, snipe, celly boys!

[@Jnoguet]
